Since the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn has no SelectedIndex or SelectedValue properties, you can try and set the value like this example:

DataGridViewComboBoxColumn cmbCurrencies = (DataGridViewComboBoxColumn)myDataGridView.Columns["ComboboxCurrencyColumn"];

var currencies = entities.currencies.Select(c => c.currencyName).DefaultIfEmpty().ToList();     

cmbCurrencies.DataSource = currencies; 

and then:

for (int i = 0; i <= myDataGridView.RowCount - 1; i++)
    {
         myDataGridView.Rows[i].Cells["Index of Combobox Column"].Value = "Pound";
    }
